NH Wedding Venue: The Mountain View Grand Hotel

The Mountain View Grand Hotel was my mom's choice for my wedding venue for a long time. This historic old hotel is the height of New Hampshire elegance. It has a distinctive yellow color that makes it stand out in it's already impressive surroundings. The most picturesque time to be married at the Grand is in the Fall. The foliage is to die for and it only adds to the amazing outdoor spaces for ceremonies. The beauty doesn't end outside but continues into the guest rooms, spa and ballrooms. There are a multiple indoor reception spaces, all with their own personalities and capacities. The reason that we chose not to have our reception at the Grand (initially to my mother's dismay) was mostly due to the cost. The Grand is gorgeous but comes at a premium for you and your guests. I think that this would be a wonderful place for a large wedding with a flexible budget. Details below!
